“It’s been tough. He was a troubled, troubled guy, and he always was. This is a very sad end to it, but I know that he’s at peace now. He’s in the arms of a beneficent force,” Jane told Us Weekly. “I know life was very, very hard for Mark. I think we all do the best we can at the end of the day.”

“He was a hard guy to get to know,” she continued. Adding about her memories of him, she said, “He took videos of the stages and everything. He was so happy to be coming to work, to be on the show. He wrote a song and videotaped his day being on Glee,. Driving into the Paramount lot … at that time he was living on a cot in a little room. It was a big jump for him in his career, and also, he had a job and was in with this group of really great kids. I think he knew that he was breathing rarefied air. There was so much joy and happiness in his musical video that he shot for himself. Fox made him take it down. But it was a sweet, beautiful expression of his joy and being in Glee.”

If you don’t know, back in December, Salling had plead guilty to possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor. Photos were allegedly found on his computer. Mark was expected to get 4 to 7 years in prison as a part of an apparent plea deal. He was previously arrested in December 2015 on the charges.

If you don’t know, Jane and Mark co-starred on all six seasons of Glee together.

“It’s sad. Very tragic,” the 57-year-old actress said (via TMZ) when she encountered paparazzi earlier today.

When asked how she would remember Mark, she responded, “As the guy who made that really sweet video at the beginning of Glee when he was so happy to be apart [of it.]”

“It’s tragic and I’m broken-hearted over it,” Jane continued.

That same day, Jane also retweeted Tim Davis, who worked behind-the-scenes on Glee. Timtweeted, “Let me be clear. Having compassion for #MarkSalling in no way minimizes his crimes, nor does it minimize the pain and devastation of the victims of those crimes. I’m just saying stop adding to his family’s pain. This was their son. If you’re without sin, feel free to cast stones.”

Matt posted a photo of him, Mark, and Cory Monteith, who died from an overdose in July 2013.

“ðŸ˜‡ðŸ˜”ðŸ˜‡,” Matt captioned the photo. He used angel emojis on either side of a sad face emoji. The angels are in reference to the two late actors.

Markdied of an apparent suicide on Tuesday morning (January 30). He plead guilty to possession of child pornography in December and was expected to be sentenced to four to seven years in prison as part of a plea deal.
